juggling thoughts

sometimes when i look in my purse and see the varied contents mixed together, i think, "Hey, my brain must look like this too." this morning when i looked in my purse for sunglasses, they were naturally missing. but what did i find? let me enlighten you:

playmobil sailor
hardware to my recalled safety gate
canon camera
wind-up school bus
one black sock, size 12-24 months
business cards (both mine, and other random sorts)
packet of sugar
chapstick
three-week-old grocery list
pacifier clip (note, none of my children use pacifiers)
bib clip: device designed to convert restaurant napkin to bib
coupons
gift-card to stax grill that i won
five dollar bill


**missing? Wallet. Sunglasses. Car Keys. Notice a pattern?**

You may be asking, how is this like your brain? Ah, I'm glad you asked. Ah-hem:

Thoughts, GO:

i fed my son chocolate chip banana bread this morning because he was going to the School of the Little People, and what do i care if he has a sugar high there? the justification was whole wheat flour. not to mention the fact that his working mother made said breakfast from scratch.

our local airport just landed a huge low-cost carrier, which is huge economic news for the state. when most of our leakage to other airports is going out of state (ATL, CLT), our ability to retain flyers out of GSP because of price competition from Southwest Airlines is going to dramatically change the process by which other investment comes our way, and the way we sell our state. our community leadership is over the moon!

buggle is on antibiotics. P-T-L. i had a doctor (our parents' age) tell me that whenever one of his kids would get sick (20-25 years ago) he would just line them up, tell them to open wide, and eye-dropper amoxicillen in their mouths like baby birds. i realize that might be a bit liberal, but sometimes, i just wish we could do that. she's feeling much better already.

we're going to get to see Aunt Billie and Uncle Al this weekend with Grandad and KK. They have never met Junie, so it will be really fun to visit.

i met with a ukranian scientist today, judged senior projects for a local high school yesterday, get to attend the Pro-Am charity event later this week, and am about to get on a conference call to discuss the Supreme Court approval of properly designed release-time programs for public schools in the state with a religious freedoms group. If that's not bouncing around a lot, i don't know what is.

Happy Wednesday!
